[Q] Band 26/41 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Ok guys, so I have a Sprint Note 3 (er duh lol hence the forum lol) and anyway, I read ALLLLLLLLL those pages about the Note 3 being LTE single band blah blah blah blah some think the single antenna can support multiple bands, some do not, etc etc etc etc.....my question is this: Can it HURT anything to try enabling these two bands in IOThiddenMenu and has anyone already tried?
Edit:: Forget I asked, just close the thread: It just takes and unchecks the box after I check it, so I'm assuming the hardware just isn't there henceforth the software won't enable something that doesn't exist. Oh well, it was wishful thinking! lol
2nd Edit:: And now for my first post I feel exceedingly stupid! lol

No way bro, it's there, Sprint and Samsung just gimped the device by omitting a firmware update, which it just so happens exists in the wild. We're getting lit up shortly. @freeza has already seen the icon on his device.
Let's get this thread cranked up

Oohh damn!!! That's sweet!!! Well I'm ready! Can't wait to lay hands on that! Idk if the local towers are transmitting on those bands yet for me personally but I'm sure they will be in time! So the determination then is that our devices ARE triband just minus the firmware???

Yes the firmware updates are not going to magically turn this phone into a triband phone .... There are no triband lte with simultaneous voice and lte .... That's why the nexus 5 LG G2 etc have circuit fallback troubles. .. This phone is single band lte and no magic will enable band 26 and 41 ...

Yeah, but the triband tribe does sort of become tiresome quite quickly (definitely not referring to you and other owners of this phone, see below).
I never understood how folks get a groupthink vibe going on a completely different forum (not even Xda for goodness sake), exchange high-fives, buy their triband phones, then come over here and drop their strange mix of sagacity and pent-up rage. It's nothing but weird. To go out of one's way to go to another thread, lug proof coated with the patina of credibility based on some dude's reading of FCC test docs, lace it with bravado, and to top it all off, they don't even own this phone, it's kind of nuts in its own right.
If someone is happy with their phone, why bother if others think their phone has a feature yours has? To speak in absolutes, talk down to others like they are all bleeding idiots, and keep coming back is just too much.
People whom bought this device long ago knew the trade-off, and were fine with it. Others thought that the feature might be there, just not available, so they speculated. You do that every day when you engage in political discussions, read the Op-ed page, or go to Bible study.
I say live your life, engage in healthy discussion, and throw in your thoughts into the mix. Cross the line to knowing more than your fellow traveler of life, I'm a gonna throw some bait your way.
And I'm not talking about owners of the device. I'm talking solely about those whom don't own this phone but come by here and inject their venom into our garden.
I hope this clarifies.
And just for the record, this phone is fully capable of delivering triband. You just have to wait until January 29th at 15:00 EST

You'll note that every post I've made on this topic has some variant of that. It's my bat signal for the triband crowd to come in and call us idiots and get all angry.

If you hook your note 3 up to this you'll get every band of lte ever thought about. .. And even the 5g that South Korea hasn't even built yet

Verizon Note III Received?

This is a thread for people to post when they receive their Note III. I have one Preordered on Verizon but just put this thread here for people to subscribe (did not get mine yet) - when others post when they have gotten their Note III maybe that will help pin down when they start shipping.
I've never preordered, I've always got it release day. Hoping I get it a day or two early. Thought the other thread got a bit off topic and a little harsh.
I played with the AT&T one in store and I hope we get root and can bypass Knox counter.
I really was pleased with what I saw, but I don't know if I can have a phone I can't root or mod... been doing that since the old Windows mobile days, then with android since the HTC incredible, nexus and n2.
Well... here's to waiting, cheers...

Sitting here, tapping my fingers furiously waiting, waiting, waiting. Hoping it does ship early. Thinking of sending my GG watch back when I get my bundle though, but can't wait for the GN3
Just pre-ordered mine through Verizon today. Decided on the black one without the Gear watch. The employee said that they might get them a few days early like they did with the two previous models. I don't know how good his word is, but at least it's something to hope for. When the phone finally drops there's going to be a lot of happy users on these threads.

Thats impressive ping on that test, you say thats a verizon tower? All the towers in my area the pings are over 100ms, usually between 110-130. Theres a tower in my backyard as well and i get the same speeds but the pings are bad to me. I done a speed test recently on one tower and got 56mbps down and the ping was 116. The at&t network in my area has pings half that of verizon, their network feels faster to me because of that. ( I had to remove the image from the quote, forum rule, I dont have 10 posts yet.)

Development is dying

Beans has said that mobile developement is dying due to companys trying much harder to block us out. Why do it android was built on this platform. I personally own an android for the reason to make it what I want ( with help from everybody here) so why are they locking us out? I understand the company does what verizon says but why not leave holes for us? It used to be that way now its like the company wants us out as much as the carrier!

Vzw is a big company with good negotiators. Samsung wants to keeps offering their products to vzw consumers... and they realize it's vzws call.
Back room dirty politics. Its everywhere.

Yeah they're making their money now and got lots of popularity so no screw u. That's Sammy. Moto and HTC are going the other way leaving holes but once they come out of slide they'll change too.

My opinion is for you to take your sap and negative opinion else where.
This is a community of support and Improvement.
Yes with every update, new work arounds needs to be made.
And one would be very ignorant to think this is like the First time this happened with a brand new device.
It hasn't even been out a month and you're saying it is safe to say development is Dead?
There will be a work around released eventually.
It may come out by this weekend, it may come out by winter holidays or it maybe it will be worked out by spring.
For all we know, we could just end up in the same boat as the s4.
However, i strongly advise you to
Be patient and show your support to devs working day and night
or go follow another forum.
Thank you.
Hey guy I said not this phone!!!!!!!

I think that a lot of this has to do with security of the Android system. Remember that we get root and bypasses by dev's finding holes in security. That means that those same security holes can be used by rogue hackers to steal data. It's a big deal for all of us and especially for businesses. If Verizon and the phone makers wants to sell Android on the enterprise level, they have to prove that it's secure for enterprise use. For most users, this isn't a big deal. They just use stock. But for us...
I think the real issue here is that carriers are exploiting those of us who want an open device by charging full price and by releasing it much later than their locked devices. THAT'S the BS IMO
Ps griping about the company and carrier not the community I love this community and have been here since my droid eris

Ummmm....top poster. Just unnecessary. OP is not putting down devs. He's restating what the devs are feeling..are you following devs on Twitter? Some of the very best out there are refusing to touch a Samsung phone and many are just tired. Development isn't dead. It just evolves.
I think we should all say f sammy, htc, lg and anyone else other than nexus.
Android is going to take a huge blow once iPhone releases a bigger screen. I mean let's be real, if they start locking us out, what's the point of Android.

@bigtoysrock I love you guys and your roms, goodness was the best!!!! But I hate this cat and mouse game, I left iphone because of the screen size, battery life and XDA. Sammy is taking away the thing I love the most XDA U.S development. Or should say slowing it down

Phone just came out... give it a few.. you guys expect it to be here now now now. If you can't wait try finding the exploit and making work and make a program etc. Patience. Plus you know what you were getting into when you bought a lock phone.

You need remember that it isn't htc or Samsung or any of the others for the most part. But rather verizon and at&t. Any of the other carriers can unlock their bootloaders on practically every android device

I wonder how much out of packet when try to trade the current note 3 for that?..........
I wouldnt believe a rep from any carrier store as far as I could throw the store....
Only reason I would believe it would be because they did came out with a S4 triband version so never know they might come out with a note 3 triband version.

That's true also but let's see as for me I've grown into having a big screen and well I'm loving the s - pen and mind you I'm still on the note 2 lol but I don't think I'll ever jump back to the regular S line it's either gonna be a note 4 or something like that lg g flex but with a better screen resolution I've read and seen good reviews on it besides the screen resolution which is the only deal breaker.

When one considers that..
-->This s a niche device in a market that Sammy owns,
-->Silicon Valley's reaction to Spark is the same as the customer-base, tempered by believe-it-when-we-see-it,
-->The Big 2 are unafraid of this,
-->It takes years and billions to launch technological infrastructure and deliver it to the masses,
-->Cost-cutting continues with a vengeance, creating a user experience that looks nothing as it did a mere 12 months ago,
-->The balance sheet remains debt-laden,
-->Towers once owned are still leased back,
-->Customer churn rates continue at similar levels Q2Q,
-->Stuffing more Spark-capable phones in the pipeline when the vast majority can't use them makes little sense, unless you think it'll onboard more customers quickly,
What's the endgame? I find it quite confusing, as I can't figure out the differentiator in the marketplace. It used to be price, and a tolerable-to-decent user experience. No mas.
I get that owning bands unavailable to others is an asset, but if they can't be swiftly deployed, we are left with nothing but sizzle, or Spark.
I'd rather have a company that offered decent technology, a clearly definable lower price-point and superior customer service any day.
Instead, we're paying for sizzle for the few that have Spark.
So wait a minute, is tri band supported for the current note 3 or are they going to release a whole new note 3?

More info on the Tri Band Note 3 !
To clarify the manager of the store told me this after I inquired to the rep that was helping me on the floor and started asking questions about Sprint Spark and which phones they had available that worked on the Spark Network. Also I am in Houston Texas which is a Spark Market that just recently became active. They told me they had begun pushing firmware updates out to the phones that were capable now and that the LG G2 was one of the first ones and the HTC One Max. They said they were rolling out the updates in waves of an undisclosed number of customers at a time. I guess maybe they are just doing it in areas that they activate Spark in but I am not sure about that. One thing that I do know for sure is that I will be getting a Spark capable Note 3 if and when I see one ! They were however definitively confident of there statement on this matter so I really think it will happen in the very near future. Why would Samsung update the S4 and not the Note 3 that would not make any sense. Especially since they will be selling these two phones even after the new ones come out just like they do now for a cheaper price than the latest and greatest. They also said they would be phasing out the single band LTE version.

Oh my little gullible padawan .... You will learn with time we don't believe anything sprint says until it happens ...I was supposed to have 4G a month after I got my HTC evo 4G wimax and same with epic then the evo3d ,epic touch then the galaxy s3 , galaxy nexus , note 2 , now note 3 and I have finally got some 4G .... believe me when we are a little hesitant to believe any thing that sprint says ... We have been down that road before

I'm perfectly happy with my current Note 3 LTE. Even if the Sparks Note 3 came out next month, can you imagine how long it will be before your area even has that capability in the tower? You would see complaint after complaint of "when is Sparks coming to my area"? "I have the Spark Note 3 & the rep that sold it to me told me that "it's coming soon" so I got talked into buying it....yada-yada-yada...
I'm less than 6 blocks from an LTE tower, but 2 blocks away from a 3G tower, so coverage here is outstanding...data & voice.
Give it a few years...two things will happen. 1. A newer technology will come out making Sparks a "thing of the past, now dying"
2. It'll take about that long for completion of Sparks technology, so you'll lose interest in it by then.
Unless you live or work in a MAJOR city, there's slim to none chance of making it work for you.
/By the way, what do you even NEED 40 or 50 Mb downstream for? Streaming high-def only requires about 6 Mbps & good LTE easily delivers that!
/My rant is over. NEXT!!
Even though I haven't read every page of the NA leak post, I've read quite a few posts that say it is enabling spark. I think that many people aren't in an activated area so they can't test it. I might be wrong but I'm thinking that the current n3 can do spark. I will just have to wait and see when an official kit Kat tar comes out. I'm pretty sure spark is active in my general area/market.
